[Global Communication - Maiden Voyage (RSD2024)]

Oh nice, didn't even know that was coming out. Might have to check if any of my local stores have it

I love how they only sell from their Bandcamp meaning if you want to grab these from another country the cost is fucking extortionate. Was gonna get the Air ones but £60+ for a double album is ludicrous.

edit: also Namlook famously hated vinyl so I'm not convinced this is completely honouring his legacy, but it is what it is.

For what its worth their reissues are absolutely worth every penny. The level of care and attention to detail they put into each release is unmatched. When I got Air II it shipped with tons of extra goodies - NASA memorabilia, art prints, vintage 70s stamps, a handwritten note, 3 free download codes for other FAX releases, all on top of it looking and sounding utterly incredible. 

Will be buying everything they put out no questions asked.

If you zoom in on the label it says "© Warp Records 2024". Subtle hint??

[Dostrotime [2024]]

Hello Everything is excellent. I might even like it more than Ultravisitor. At the very least its a much more digestible listen. I certainly return to it more often.

[Would You Pay to Access WATMM In Lieu of Advertisements?]

Yeah same boat, I just renewed because I saw ads. Had no idea it expired

yeah i edited above, even i got confused ha - 'Welcome to europe', indeed hello everything is i think 3 vinyls

Yeah it's 3. For some reason there was a 1xLP for sale under Hello Everything. Sold out now though. We'll never know!

[Dostrotime [2024]]

PSA - Was pre-ordering just now and scrolling through the Squarepusher site. Apparently you can get a copy of Hello Everything on vinyl for...$15?! It says 1xLP though, so maybe its just a mislabeled CD or something. No clue. I already have a copy or I'd take the chance to find out.

[Dostrotime [2024]]

Crazy timing, I was just listening to Be Up A Hello on the way home and thinking about how well its held up compared to his last few for me. The retro pixel style has me expecting this will follow the same vein? Super excited for this

They’re really good. This has prompted me to work through Oval’s back catalogue too. Really enjoying it

I feel like I repeatedly I find myself being reminded of how creative and groundbreaking his work is.

Some of these recent volumes have made me reconsider the 'O'-era stuff too, which I had dismissed at the time as not for me. Maybe I should go back and give it another shot. 

[Principles of Geometry - Penta Ep.]

Album was amazing, will definitely be picking this up.

All formats // All stores // 26th Januay

I guess I meant like a standard black vinyl release. I took that to just mean vinyl, CD, digital. But I'll wait and see.

[VHS Head - Phasia [EP], Digital Out Now, Vinyl 12/8]

Wonder if this will get a non-picture disc version. I usually try to avoid those if I can.

[Microstoria - init ding + _snd (Mille Plateaux, remaster + repress)]

Excited for this, these are both great albums. Very abstract and minimal, but I keep coming back to them over the years. It' hard to describe, but there's something mysterious and haunting buried in there. Empty but still human. Relaxing and unnerving at the same time

[Oval - Now/Never/Whenever Vol.1 - November 3 only!]

Glad I caught this on time, almost missed it

[NRSB-11 - Commodified + S/T EP + tote bag (WéMè, Disciples reissue bundle)]

I definitely want these, but I'm kinda holding out to see what the standard editions at other stores are like. Hopefully they come with a regular sleeves, I hate those PVC ones.

Also, does anybody know why the EP is listed as a "Bleep Exclusive" while the LP is a "Bleep Upfront Exclusive"? What's the difference?

Luke mentioned to me he does not like the album "Donuts" however, which i found odd.  

Luke gives Jay Dee a shot out at the end of this video
 

 

I am kind of in the same boat honestly. Donuts never really clicked with me, it's almost too refined/polished. I think Dilla was at his best when he was more loose and raw. Like I absolutely love his unreleased beats/outtakes (Beats Batch series, etc.). Same reason I love the Wagon Christ Studio Sessions too

except for the sealed bit

i've rinsed that old boy to DEATH

Same here too, so thats 3 of them accounted for haha

I still need to track down a copy of Confederation Trough.

[VHS Head - Phocus (out 7th April 2023)]

Anyone happen to know where I can get a vinyl copy in the US?

[Anyone else want more Shobaleader One?/What do we want next outta Tom?]

I'd be interested in hearing a return to more Just a Souvenir style jazz-prog. Always felt like 'The Glass Road' hinted at a lot of potential for a full album of complex fusion jams.

[Christ. - Blue Shift Emissions (Remastered)]

Incredible album and one of the most cherished records I own. Happyfour Twenty in particular is an immaculate piece of music.

Oh man, this was one of my favorite albums when I was in high school. Hit me at the perfect time. Still holds up too

[VHS Head - Phocus (out 7th April 2023)]

So excited for this, VHS Head is one of the few truly inimitable producers out there. I can't believe Persistence of Vision is nearly 10 years old now, good lord.

[dgoHn - Portus EP]

How does he keep getting better?! 

[Spacetime Continuum - Flurescence EP (Reissue)]

Great news! The original is pricey to get a hold of. 

The title track also made an appearance on this compilation, which I cannot recommend enough if you haven't heard it yet. 

 

[Whatever happened to The Railway Raver?]

Yeah I saw that! Would kill to hear more from him, hopefully something else comes out of this. Label said this about that EP:

Quote

After We're Going Deep's third installment of contemporary (Deep) House tracks and an EP by maestro Luke Vibert the British label has compiled a new four tracker with classy tunes for your listening pleasure. The label's strength definitely is to unite different approaches to the deeper genre that all cover a similar yet not identical vibe and therefore suit multiple set times as well as they satisfy any music lover's thirst for underground artist discoveries. The label's fourth V/A comes with new music from Reedale Rise, Owain K, Polytunnel and mysterious act B.R Posse. The latter released his EP Dreaming Of The Bassline as B.R. Posse on Rephlex Records back in 1999. His LP Drop Acid Not Bombs and an EP called You'll Never Get Anywhere By Spending All Day Playing Around With That Bloody Drum Machine both were out on Rephlex too albeit under his Railway Raver moniker. So 22 years after a last release as B.R. Posse he contributes the A2 of the latest We're Going Deep EP with a cut that goes by the name of Vectrax (Part 2). With bleeps as sharp as in this track, there might be a connection to a Vectrax, a yet to be fully developed product that is supposed to eleminate mosquitos before they can transmit a disease. However, Vectrax (Part 2) basically combines sin-esque sounding bleeps with an utterly addictive nostalgic seeming lead-melody, which in no way is interrupted but completed with the beforementioned sounds. In sine-wave style the parts of melodic comprehensiveness and bleeps alternate throughout the track but never lose the artist's as well as the label's preferred and taken deep path.
